About this work

This image shows a page of sketches, including a face and eyes. The face is drawn in the center, with a few lines indicating the shape of the head and neck. The eyes are sketched above and to the side of the face, with some notes about the shape and color of the iris. The page also includes some handwritten notes, which appear to be about the art of stained glass and tiles. The text is difficult to read, but it seems to be discussing the use of color and light in these art forms.

Artist

Charles Frederick Godbold Turner

Charles Frederick Godbold Turner spent his life drawing the small stuff most people ignore: the worn stone of cathedral steps, the faded embroidery on an old priest’s robe, the way light slants through a church window.
